Yes! I really like Walden...every preseason game he ends up opening up my eyes by making a fantastic read on a run play...his tackling skills are superb. But for the second straight year, the staff didn't think it was worthy for a roster spot until later. Hopefully he can stick around this time. He's a good player...nothing great, but worthy of a roster spot on any team.

Re: Dolphins waived DE Clifton Geathers, replaced by Walden

what the hell was the point of that???

geathers was supposed to be best lineman we got off waiversand we resign dolton and put him straight on the team

Sparano made no bones about the bottom of the roster being turned, plenty of guys still on the bubble.

I dont see any of these guys being the make or break players for our team anyway, most will be on specail teams mostly and in a back up role if someone gets hurt.I am sure there will be plenty of other moves.

I am still expecting Hilliard to be moved if someone offers, it seems GB is looking for another RB. As players get hurt teams will need to make moves. With Clifton Smith taking the return role, it would appear we have 5 RB's on the active roster.. Kinda overkill if you ask me...

The Fins just claimed Geathers off waivers earlier this month. He'll be replaced by Erik Walden, who was re-signed.

Re: Dolphins waived DE Clifton Geathers, replaced by Walden

If Walden was brought back I can only assume we wanted his special teams experience? Don't get me wrong, Walden is a solid backup, but I think we need more depth at DE right now. Oh well, I guess we'll have to just trust that Sparano and Co. know what they are doing. We'll find out this Sunday.
